The Cummins M11 code 241 troubleshooting document is a 9-page factory-style fault code guide covering the vehicle speed sensor circuit (PID P084, SPN 84, FMI 2) on Cummins CELECT engines. The vehicle speed sensor uses two separate coils to count gear teeth as they pass the sensor; one coil feeds vehicle speed to the ECM while the other is sometimes used by the OEM for the speedometer. It reproduces the circuit description, component location and the full step-by-step diagnostic procedure a technician follows to confirm the fault and verify the repair. The guide moves through connector inspection, harness continuity and resistance measurements, sensor and ECM checks, and then explains how to disable, re-run and clear the code once the repair has been confirmed on a diagnostic tool.

Applicable truck models
This procedure applies to trucks running Cummins M11 CELECT (1990-94) with CELECT electronic controls. Technicians should confirm the engine dataplate and ECM calibration first, and cross-check every pin and connector location against the OEM wiring diagram, because connector positions vary with the chassis manufacturer. For engine-level specifications and authorised repair locations, see the Cummins official engine support site.
